Trophic #rewilding can help ecosystems adapt to our rapidly changing biosphere. From #megafauna-driven seed dispersal to buffering against invasive species, we explore how rewilding supports #biodiversity & resilience 🍃🐃@CurrentBiology https://t.co/hO0mw0OECO 🐺🌼

"New research reveals how predators and prey adjust their behaviours in space and time! 📷 Using camera-trap data from Brazil and Suriname, we found that red-rumped agoutis adjust their activity patterns in response to ocelots' presence."

Ethiopian wolves have been seen feeding on nectar! 🐺

They are the first large carnivore documented doing this - and may be acting as pollinators too. New from @Arctic_paws @ClaudioSillero @WildCRU_Ox @UniofOxford 👇

Some species are difficult to get close to, but drones can navigate this issue and avoid disturbing animals 🦭

New research from @Eco_Stone1 @KatrinaJDavis will improve our ability to monitor species and help us make effective conservation decisions 👇

New Paper- Using UAVs to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring!

Super excited to share that my Master's research with @KatrinaJDavis and first ever paper has been published in @MethodsEcolEvol! 🦭

🚨Red List Update🚨

Migratory shorebird populations are plummeting globally. ⚠️ 📉

16 species have been reclassified to higher threat categories, with potential causes including habitat loss and degradation, disturbance, hunting and climate change. 🌊

🌎 Travelling the world on migration routes called flyways, shorebirds are a familiar sight worldwide.

Protecting shorebirds is vital for all of us. 💚 The places migratory birds stop and rest on their long journeys are important for millions of people.

CBD COP16 is the moment to galvanise action to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. 🤝

Nature loss can be reversed but extinctions cannot.❌

It's been a crazy news week...but take a minute to ponder the fate of the Javan rhino. It's been confirmed that poachers have recently killed 1/3 of the entire population.

This puts the species super close to extinction.
